We talked about how Trump would perform as Prez. Not about the day to day life and not about apocalypse. But plenty of talk about how he'd work out.

Actually, it's turned out exactly as Ds predicted, and worse.

We said he'd lie, fail, be incompetent and racist, fuck up the environment, break all his promises, screw over the "forgotten man," and it's all come true, and more. (Go check up on the Carrier Deal and how that's working out.)

I was just thinking back to last year when all the Trumpers were so happy and rubbing it in "liberals" faces. It was such a victory for them. It was all going to be great.

And here we are. Just one day's headlines. Haven't even gotten to Mueller. It's exactly as predicted: sad.

It's ascription to say we predicted an apocalypse. It's also ascription to say we predicted any change at all in people's lives after one year. All ascription.

We're talking about the behavior, actions, success and failure of Trump. We're judging him. And as I made clear, specifically in relation to his campaign promises and the expectations of the triumphant Dumb Fucks one year ago.

Your assessment that he is "no different than any other president" doesn't answer any of those things.

Besides which, it's patently untrue.

Trump has sunk lower in one year, by every measure, than George Bush at the very end of his two terms.

If you want to defend him and argue that he's been a great success, go ahead. Otherwise, you're being a fraudulent troll who doesn't know anything, as usual.

And like I said.....despite all the wails and cries from D’s about it nothing has really changed. Because Trump is iust more of the same.

1) No it’s not, on the GB alone numerous people have talk about how he’s going to get us wrecked by taunting the ultimate super power, N. Korea who by the grace of the Supreme Leader Kim, hasn’t decided to come fuck us up.

2) If he’s not shitting on the lives of the citizens then why all the whining and crying about how he like, literally Hitler???

It's not just the GB. Many people in the real world have said he's drawing us closer to nuclear war than any time since the 1960s.

Be that as it may, I personally don't think the moron would drop an H Bomb. Can't speak for Kim, but it's not something I worry about. But it's fair to say he has not made that situation one bit better; in fact he's made it way worse.

As for the minute to minute change in people's daily lives, what do you think immigrant families, CHIP kids, DACA kids, people in Puerto Rico, people with Obamacare, Sam's Club and Carrier employees, and Las Vegas victims have to say about that? Everywhere, the weakest and most vulnerable are being hurt. But they don't matter, because the stock market is up.

Speaking of Hitler, he was in power 12 years, dumb ass. Did the Holocaust happen in the first year?

You've been presented with list after list of all the ways Trump is parroting fascist language and policies and it flows in one ear and out the other, so there's no use going over it.

Outside of Chicken Little, who are some of the "many people in the real world?"

Trump is not going to drop any H bombs either, unless the US or our allies are attacked. Nobody really knows about Kim, because he is so unpredictable, but I doubt that his advisors would allow him to commit national suicide. Being ready for war is probably the best way to avoid it.

Generally speaking, I believe people are better off, with low unemployment and bigger paychecks. People of PR may not be, but that is because of the severe hurricanes, unless you believe Trump set them off, the way you believe W set off Hurricane Katrina. Trump also had nothing to do with the Las Vegas terrorist.

Calling anyone who brings it up or lists the reasons or makes an argument hysterical Trump haters doesn't address the arguments. You turn into an infant screaming on the floor, hence: no point in talking about it until you grow up.

3. The President does "set policy." All Presidents do. Pulling out of Paris: that is "setting policy." They don't write laws into existence, but they set policy in many other ways.

And every one of them is a hysterical Trump hater.

Trump doesn’t set policy, so no, you’re just wrong and clearly an irrational spastic Trump bashed.

I'm not really sure what is meant by "the forgotten man." If you are referring to what are often called "working stiffs," his policies have reduced unemployment and increased paychecks. The new income tax laws will drastically increase the personal exemption, resulting in less income tax for those who do not own homes and pay mortgage interest and property tax. These sound like pretty good improvements in the lives of ordinary people.

We had near full employment on the day he was inaugurated, after 8 years of Obama. It's very low, but it's BEEN very low. He didn't miraculously change things around in one year. in fact, job creation per month has been declining under Trump.

Name one Trump policy that can let him take credit for the unemployment stats.

You don't know what you're talking about with people's paychecks.

The R Tax Bill may produce some changes, but they haven't gone into effect yet, and meanwhile they are teeny. WAGES themselves haven't increased, they're only cutting a tiny amount of middle class taxes (to expire in 10 years) to gut Medicaid and Medicare and Obamacare. Some people MAY see a gain of about $60/month--in exchange for a 1.3 trillion increase in the deficit and then massive cuts to SS.

Supposedly, we're all waiting for all that money being funneled to the top to trickle down in the form of more, better, higher-paying jobs. None of that has happened yet.

Besides, even with all this supposed economic success, his approval ratings remain in the gutter.

Video shows the word, along with the "poop" emoji, being projected onto the property.
"Pay Trump bribes here" "emoluments welcome," and "we are all responsible to stand up and end white supremacy" were also projected onto the building

From the perspective of someone living in the UK, we just see it as all a bit silly. like the news will report stuff and people just laugh. I can imagine Americans must be really worried about him being in charge and hearing some of the things he has to say...

Their yearly tax debt will go down, but their monthly rent will go up.
